I don't think we were going to bother with a biobed in the end, it's probably not a justifiable cost on our acreage, just an underground tank to be emptied onto stubbles at the end of the season, if that's legal. Although all ideas subject to change at this stage.

Is the sealant something you've painted onto the walls or an additive in the concrete?

There should be a CSF chap coming to give advice at some stage but he's not responded as yet.

As far as I understand the base of the walls are glued into the concrete using the same stuff they use for slurry lagoons.

More work on it today, decided the chalk wall of this lean to wanted pulling out while there's room to get a digger in, and cut the concrete out for the posts and dug the holes.

Got the bolts concreted in for the first two posts:

Had time for another go at this today, got most of the steel frame up with two of us in about 6 hours, not bad for novices!

 

[Daniel]

Bit more done today, as novices we got the rafters on this end section the wrong way round to hang the door lintel from, then when we bolted the door lintel up it made the ridge bow outwards, which we didn't notice until we'd got 3 purlings up....

Anyway the lintel now has washers as spacers between it and the upright post and all is well...

Can you drive the Merlo from the Mancage?? Or is it just up/down? Interesting!

Its got the socket for it on the boom but we haven't got the control box for the manplatform, dont know if it would let you drive or just raise and lower the boom.

Difficult to find time to work on this at the moment but got a bit more done:

Hi Dan not trying to be funny but would take of the pic of the roof being done, I have just finished putting up a new shed and had a visit from HSE because of no roof nets or side safety rail, luckily by the time the got to me the roof was done so we just blagged it and they said without proof ie photos they would have to drop it, just had a stern letter not to do it again.

Shed looks good tho, are you going to insulate it, we are doing the sprayer bay, trying to source some more cheap insulation

What picture?!

That's the second time today I've been advised that my posts have been too 'honest' must show more care.

Was going to insulate, need to do more homework on that, got a quote for 60mm celotex insulation and it came out at about £3k, I don't know if that's the right thickness or not though.

@Daniel how did you get the levels for the cement as its in a hole, laser or spirit-level

Used a dumpy level, pretty simple to do:

Have obtained some second hand stuff and some "seconds", however not all those who sell seconds actually sell it cheaper than "first grade stuff, we used liner sheets on the roof and used 170mm fibre glass for that, lining the walls with rigid stuff of all sorts, anything over 50ish mm would be fine I reckon,

Proper tidy

A bit more elaborate than I thought

My brothers a civil engineer so we acquired the level when his office upgraded to better ones, it is way better than using a spirit level and boards!

Just a few of ours going up just need to finish the insulation and fit the sump tank then concrete the floors and fit roof water tank, also includes fert store and somewhere to tip grain and keep machines

Looking good, did you just sit the concrete wall on some blocks or something? We were wondering about this, we think we'll lay the floor first and then pour a 250mm wall to meet the bottom of the sheets. Insulation wise still not sure, you can buy a lot of antifreeze for the cost of it!

Roof finished last week:
